Olympus battery charger flashes red when battery is inserted.

\015 The battery is an Olympus LI 428 which came with the camera, an Olympus FE 280/X-820. I have only ever charged it twice in eleven months, as I don't use the camera much. The battery does not appear to be charging. Help please!\015

I tried to do this with my LI-10C Olympus charger and it worked..The blinking red light turns to solid red..Thanks for the info...Now I won't be bothering to buy a new batt.or have my charger checked..

I went snorkeling with my olympus 780sw camera last weekend and was taking photos just fine. It was nearing the end of the battery life I believe and when i went to try to turn it on, nothing happened so I thought it had died(battery) I went to try and charge it, and the red light comes on, but it only flashes and does not stay solid, even after letting the battery sit in the charger for >5 hours. Is there a problem with my battery then? the charger? the camera and battery combined? any assistan

Trying to charge up my battery for EXILIM EX-Z75 camera. The red light on the charger keeps flashing and the battery doesn't charge. Have checked battery is correctly inserted - which it is. Do I need a new battery? Or a new charger?

Hi,\015\012\015\012At this point it is likely that serious damage has occurred to the circuitry of the camera which will have been shorted by the water ingress. Water is also corrosive in nature (particularly salt water) and wreaks havoc ...

I'm trying to charge my Canon battery for my Rebel XTI camera. I have a Canon Battery Charger for LC E5. The Battery pack is LP-E5. The battery fits into the charger and a red light comes on. It doesn't flash. It remains constant. I've had it in the charger for 4 hours, and it doesn't turn green. Is the battery fully charged if there's a constant red light and no green light? Thank you.

Yes. There should be a constant green light when it is completely charged.What does the battery status show when plugged to the camera? If it show full then then there is problem with the charger not the battery.ThanksKindly r ...

When the battery is in the charger it flashes red & won't charge, have no idea what problem is! Have casio exilim lithium ion NP-20 battery & a casio exilim 7.2 megapixels camera. Can't turn camera on at all, instructions of charger state red light will remain on while battery charging & will turn off when fully charged. Thankyou.

I called casio and they told me that when you have a red flashing light on the charger it means the lithium battery is no longer any good. They offered to send me one free of charge. It's been several weeks and I have yet to receive it. ...

Charging battery the battery died when in use and when we placed it on the charger the red light flashes instead of staying solid red and does not charge the camera. Other functions on the cradle work. I tried removing and reinsertting the battery and checked the contacts and they are clean. the contacts on the charger are also clean. I down loaded the pictures on it thru the cradle so that seems to be working

Okay, the same thing happened to me. I ordered a new battery and that was not the problem since the same blinking light was haunting me! So I bought a wall charger for the battery alone and then it worked again on the original docking station. Appare ...

My nikon s203 battery will not charge. When the charger is plugged in, the light is red. When I put the battery in it, the light just flashes red really fast and will not charge. I have left it on overnight before, but it still will not charge. Is it a problem with my battery or my charger? I have not even had the camera for a year yet.

I just started having the same exact problem. I took it one step further and put the battery on a meter and it checks out at the rated 3.7 volts. Plus, the camera will not turn on. This problem is not covered in the "troubleshooting" guide of the own ...

My LI42 battery won't charge for my Olympus 790 SW.
The charging light comes on, then flashes, then turns off within about a minute. The battery does not charge at all during this time.
My manual does not say anything about a flashing light on the charger and I can't figure out if my battery is the problem or my charger.

Problem is most likely the battery. Try getting a new battery of the same specifications and see. That is the cheaper option. If that still does not work, then it could be the charger. ...

I have an Olympus e510 that I bought new 2 years ago. The other day I got it out to use it and it will not turn on. I purchased a new battery, charged it, and it still will not work. When I removed the battery from the charger the light on the charger was green. I decided after the camera would not turn on I put the battery back on the charger. At that time the charger was showing a red light. Could the charger be going bad?

Hi, as per your information your camera 2 years old but not used much. You buy a new battery 1st time when you charged you see the gree light. But camera not working. When you try to charge the battery again you seen the red light. Its mean your char ...

I have an olympus 'mju' 700 camera which uses li-ion 42b battery and a li-40c charger. Whenever i charge my batteries, the charging light would start flashing (which is not the sign of charging because the light should be still) and when this happens, the battery would not charge. The only way i could make my battery charge was to slot the battery in the charger whilst the power is on (usually, i slot the battery in then turn on the power).
But i was using my batteries on a day out, 2 days aft

DC-3185 Frozen A really odd problem is my son's DC3185 is frozen with a live LCD and the Flash in auto mode except the flash icon "flashes" I see a good LCD image of what I am looking at but can not take a picture. The led light is also red. I have installed new batteries and it didn't help. I inserted a flash card and the screen indicated the Flash icon but the flash keeps flashing on and off and the red led light stays on. When I plug it in to a USB port I get the computer to see it as a e

Jazz DV-179 Hi there, My Jazz DV179 camcorder will not turn on. I've plugged the usb into computer and camera and the red light flashes a couple of times and then stays solid red. This would seem to indicate that it is charged. But it won't turn on. Can you please advise? Also, we lost the battery charger that plugs into AC outlet. Assuming we can just charge it by plugging it into computer via USB? Where would we find an AC battery charger for it?

Hello, I have a EX-Z8 Exilim Casio camera. The last time the battery ran out I put it in the charger as normal. However instead of having a constant red light, the red light has a continuous flashing. This has no expanation in the handbook but it must be an error as when I take the battery out of the charger and put it into the camera again, the camera will still not switch on. I have not had this camera for long. And there is no other reason why it shouldn't be working.
Many thanks,
Michell

If the charge lamp flashes red it means the battery is faulty or the battery is loaded in the charger incorrectly. Take the battery out and check if the contacts are dirty - wipe them with a dry cloth and try charging again. If the error continues, y ...

Battery Problems The Canon PowerShot A480 is sucking the life out of the batteries! I get about half a dozen shots and it says I need new batteries - I change to fully-charged ones and as soon as I put them in they are almost gone (that icon is flashing at me). I have used new rechargeble and old ones ... I've used two different rechargers ...
